Make a long-term worker as an old attack

When Xue Zhaoqing came out of the study again, those originally bright and moist eyes no longer had a trace of luster. Behind him, Xue Gan was trembling with anger behind the desk, patting the table while rushing towards the servant standing outside the door. He shouted: "Tell me what I said, the eldest young master has been contemplating behind closed doors for three days, and he is not allowed to leave the hospital!"

"Yes!" The servant agreed in a low voice, and followed the swaying Xue Zhaoqing into the courtyard, and then slowly closed the heavy mahogany gate from outside the courtyard.

Xue Zhaoqing slumped on the chair at the entrance of the wing room, the tears that he had suppressed for a long time finally couldn't hold back, and slowly flowed down his fair cheeks, and he didn't wipe it, just let the tears fall and wet him Most of the collar.

At this moment, he couldn't think of anything in his dull mind, it was full of his father's previous roar.

"You actually came to plead for a long-term laborer who does rough work!"

"Are you saying that your father and I are a fool who doesn't know right from wrong?!"

"Your father and I are old, but now I am still in charge of the family! If you are allowed to manage the Xue family in the future, where can your father and I have a shelter?!"

"You actually have the guts to intercede with that lady, why don't you have the guts to avenge your newly married wife?!"

"You have been studying abroad for so many years, have you only read those little ones?!"

Every sentence pierced Xue Zhaoqing's heart like a knife.There was an unbearable pain in his heart, as if he had been drained of blood.Xue Zhaoqing has been away for many years, although he doesn't go home often, he almost sends a letter every month.Unexpectedly, after all these years, the father who used to be sympathetic to the servants and see the details is now so arbitrary and unwilling to listen to others.What's more, he didn't expect that he had been studying hard according to his father's request, but now he became the source of cowardice in his father's eyes.

And that burdock who didn't know where he was, Xue Zhaoqing's heart was about to shatter into pieces when he thought of the man in the ragged linen clothes looking at him foolishly.

If he is not at Xue's house, where can he go?With a frail old lady?Who is willing to work for him?Who is willing to give him a bite to eat?It was very cold in the early spring night, so where would he go to spread out his tattered quilt to protect him from the wind and rain?

The more Xue Zhaoqing thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, the silent crying gradually turned into howling, the servants and girls outside the courtyard listened to the truth, pointing and pointing around the courtyard gate, feeling that the young master of the Xue family was lost The daughter-in-law lost her soul and was already half a lunatic.

In the middle of the night, Xue Gan, who was suffering from a headache, went to rest in Xue Tian's wing room. When the eldest son came to the study at night, he thought that the child came for Caixing's affairs.Who would have thought that when he opened his mouth, he would be asked to thoroughly investigate Niu Gengniang's dressing change.It made him very angry, and until now there is still a dull pain in the back of the right side of his head.

The girl brought hot water to soak his feet, and Xue Tian used her kneading skills to soothe his shoulders and neck. This time is when he is most relaxed, and he is willing to talk more with others.

"Touxian Zhaoqing came to me and asked me to investigate the matter of Niu Geng and his wife's dressing change."

"Isn't that matter already settled, what else is there to investigate?" Xue Tian's hand movements did not weaken a bit, as if he was not surprised by this matter at all.

"I don't know what he thinks. Although I know that he has some friendship with that burdock, but one is a long-term worker and the other is a young master. Can he still be so confused?" Xue Qian said, Suddenly he snorted coldly: "Or, he thinks that I, the father, am old and have no ability to run the family anymore."

"Master's words are serious. Zhaoqing just read too many books and has a reputation as a scholar. He will naturally be more noble than others. He said these things to the master without any intention. Master, don't be really angry. I just listened to the girl We said, Zhaoqing knew that he had offended the master, and was crying in the room."

"What?!" Xue Gan raised his thick eyebrows in an instant, his eyes burst out with unstoppable anger, and his old face flushed red: "Shame, shame! He just cried like that because of Caixing before, Now I just cry for me to teach him a few words. I only know that he is not a brute force person. I never thought that he would cry so much like a girl! How could I raise such a weak child? ?!" His feet were involuntarily thumping in the hot water, and the half-full copper basin instantly splashed everywhere.

"Master, master, don't worry." Xue Tian patted Xue Qian's back comfortingly: "Zhaoqing does have his weaknesses, but this child also has his strengths, right? Who in the entire Sanyuan County can compare with him in the test of merit?"

Xue Gan didn't make a sound after hearing this, and was still blowing his beard angrily.

"Actually, master, I have something I wanted to say a long time ago." Xue Tian slowed down, seeing that Xue Gan hadn't spoken, and continued to probe: "You want Zhaoqing to learn to manage the affairs of the field. For the sake of our family's foundation, but master, you are still in your prime, and it will not be a problem to work for another 30 to [-] years. Now is a good time for our Zhaoqing to get fame. Why don't you let him continue to study and test for fame? It is not a big event to honor the lintel, and it does not compromise Zhaoqing's good ability to study."

"..." Xue Gan pursed his lips, seemingly in thought. Xue Tian stood behind him, carefully observing his face, and seeing the drooping corners of his mouth slightly raised, she secretly felt relieved. in one breath.

"I did think about what you said. I asked him to come back at the beginning mainly for the sake of the old lady, and let him learn the things in the field. Now that the old lady has gone west, he is not a material for managing the field. Why don't you let him go?" He continued to go back to Xi'an Mansion, teaching, while reviewing and continuing to take the exam.... As for the future, hey, it's not too late for a man to start a career first and then start a family! If he really wins the Juren in the future, the one who can marry is a lady from a noble family. Not to mention rich households in the fields in the countryside."

"Yes, the master is still thoughtful."

Xue Gan squinted his eyes and continued to enjoy Xue Tian's massage without saying a word.

Seven days later, Xu Caixing went to the funeral. Although there were only clothes in the coffin, Xue Qian still followed the Xue family's rules, stopping the coffin and digging the grave before burying her.The person sent to inquire did not bring any good news to Xue Gan. The driver in the car rental shop was a newcomer, and he didn't usually talk to people, and he didn't know where his hometown was.The group of bandits in Baishui County is indeed a big overlord in that area, and the magistrate of Baishui County has nothing to do with them.

Seeing the situation like this, Xue Qian didn't bother anymore. The fact that Xu Caixing came from a small family didn't suit him at all, so he naturally didn't want to spend more time on such a dead person.

Holding Xu Caixing's tablet, Xue Zhaoqing walked at the front of the funeral procession in a daze. His footsteps were light and his face was pale. He couldn't eat or sleep well in the past few days, and he lost a lot of weight.Seeing Xue Zhaoqing like this, some neighbors watching along the way all lamented his infatuation.In less than a year, the Xue family has organized two red events and two white events in succession. Everyone can't help but feel that life is really impermanent, and things in the world are really unpredictable.

A group of people dressed in linen and filial piety, carried the coffin, and walked all the way to the cemetery outside the city, shaking the soul-leading pan.When they arrived at the cemetery, watching the coffin fall to the ground, after Xue Zhaoqing shoveled down the first handful of earth to bury the coffin, the strong men behind him began to bury the earth.The great monk performed rituals around the newly built grave for a long time, and after the worship was completed, they were ready to leave.

Only Xue Zhaoqing was still sitting on the grass next to the grave, his eyes were numb and he did not move.

"Young master, get up and go back."

"Uncle Fu, please tell Dad that your son is not filial, and I want to see Cai Xing one more time."

Xue Fu saw that although Xue Zhaoqing looked haggard, but his expression was determined and could not be rejected, he had to go back to Xue Gan, so the group left first, leaving only a young man, who was waiting outside the cemetery with a horse.

He didn't want to take another look at Xu Caixing, it was clear that this cemetery brought back his sadness.

Xue Zhaoqing stood up with great effort, staggered and walked under the big banyan tree, before reaching the front, he rushed over, hugged the banyan tree tightly, cried bitterly, and kept chanting the name of Niu Geng .

Such a well-planned game, thinking that at least three to five years of peace and tranquility with him can be exchanged. Who would have thought that human calculations will not be able to compete with heaven's calculations, and the most important people don't know where to live. He has worked so hard And for what? !

Xue Zhaoqing cried, both for Niu Geng and himself.

After crying for an unknown amount of time, those slender phoenix eyes had almost doubled in size, and he was unable to continue crying, so he couldn't stop sobbing, and his chest twitched uncontrollably from time to time.Those eyes blinded by tears saw everything blurry, as if separated by a layer of veil, and the old banyan tree in front of him was not the same as before, why did he see some words in this haze...

Xue Zhaoqing was surprised. He stretched out his hand to touch it. There was a place without bark on the tree trunk, and there were indeed some sunken gaps. He quickly wiped away his tears with his sleeve. The scene in front of him became clearer, and he rubbed the crying With red eyes, the word became clearer.

Qinger:

I'm leaving, I will make a breakthrough outside, and I will definitely pick you up when the time comes, wait for me.

牛耿

This word was actually engraved by his brother Niu Geng? !

Xue Zhaoqing held the tree trunk and looked at it over and over again. Indeed, although it was carved on the tree trunk, the characters that the man learned to write were taught by him stroke by stroke, and the handwriting was indeed his!

He said he would come to pick him up in the future, and he didn't forget him!His brother Niu Geng will definitely come to him again!

Xue Zhaoqing was immediately refreshed, the stone that was pressing on his heart had long since disappeared, he hugged the banyan tree and kept kissing the place where the burdock was engraved, wishing he could dig out the trunk and wear it next to his body.

The boy who was waiting for him outside the cemetery looked at his young master hugging the tree trunk from a distance, as if he was kissing and smiling, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, could it be that young master Xue is really crazy?
